Halo.
Chinatown last night was happening sia, my 1st time there on a new year eve. We 3 had a good time on stage, with Darren too. Nice to have uncle Phil and the rest of you there, can imagine how squeezed you felt. Hope you enjoyed the atmosphere, and your dinners too.
Cheers!

Labels: sam's personal blog
SESSION (A): Please keep the 7th February, SATURDAY, free at 1400 SHARP location at this -> http://milubingmlb.blogspot.com/2006/12/weiqi-summary.html
so that we can meet up all who want to purchase the 2008 MLB tee, do a head count, and ask for a final price. I must stress that everyone be on time, cos we got to get the final head count before we can confirm the price!
Please bring a $10 note, and a $1 coin(per tee).
Everyone should be punctual in order to give a proper quantity order.
Sizing will be done there too, gotta aga aga.
For those who can't make it for session (A), don wait for ICs to email u, just please email milubing.fc@gmail.com ASAP to make a reservation. Include details such as:
Name, HP, Quantity you are purchasing.
After which, check back here, this blog, for details of SESSION (B) where you can go down to make payment and do sizing once again.
SESSION (B): Pending 15th Feb Sunday @ 1400 @ same location???
The price i mentioned earlier is wrong, because it was excluding gst(we had the same problem the last round), so it'll be either $10 or $11 depending on the quantity we order.
Once again, I ask for all to give your full cooperation to the ICs, in order for the event to go smoothly.

hey Jenny, it would definitely be cool if any mlbian had such contacts and wanted to share with me(email MLB ICs, and they will inform me) so that the tees can be cheaper nxt time. (but the quality muz be good la, not those 'chui' tee shirt printing which i've seen b4). As for the current mlb tee 2008, we shall go ahead as planned first ba. See how it goes ya? :)
Mighty mouse,i will definitely try to come down HAHAHA...let's pray and hope that my work doesn't pile up for that weekend ya? :)
MIKO,sem 2 already leh, u should know by now that ADMers got no life hahaa... we chiong every nite one(chiong as in do hmwk, not club)... take care peeps. Today just finished camera rehearsal with nic and sam @ chinatown, after that i tried to rush down for reunion dinner...but no cabs @ newton...sigh..in the end took mrt home cos too late.. nic sam and darren went out for a while... now i'm back home doing my werk again. Not easy having to prioritize your life sometimes... it's agonizing ya? I'm dirt broke man... sigh.

weiqi | 23 January, 2009 01:35
thanks for the wishes :)
ok, i guess i'll change the timing to 2pm. but that's the last change le. sorry IC, i change again hor haha.. What i propose, is that we have the 1st session, but, on top of that, I will get the ICs to help me email all who were in the previous tee list, to request mlbians to leave a reservation if u are not coming down on the 1st session, so that we can count your quantity in. Then we will have another session(2nd session) where these ppl on reserve will come down to pass the money to the ICs , and do do sizing. This way, by the 1st session, we will know the quantity and therefore, know the final price. The only drawback is that the contact list is outdated, there are new mlbians that have joined the family whose emails are not inside. So my advice, is that if u do not receive the ICs email by say, next weekend, then email them yourself to reserve a tee for yourself as well as to get added into the contact list.
A side issue, regarding uncle phil's question of tee colour, i totally agree with ur idea, but i chose to retain the white tee so that those who have the old tee and the new tee can still stand together and look like they come from the same team.
Hope this helps. I will post what i have commented here as an official post if all goes well.
Take care!
p.s. my apologies for mia-ing here and there, due to school reopening, and having to cope with new challenges each day(literally). Got to get a hang of première pro now.. tsk tsk..
oh ya, congrats to Quizzy! JIAYO!

my ippt that is... i know it might seem trivial but to ppl like us who study and work at the same time, we don exactly get the time to go running. anyways, i'm glad i passed! only regret was that i was 1 pull up away from a silver (which is $100 more!!!). Count your blessings!
I've changed the timing cos I agree that 4pm is a not-here-not-there timing, so lunch break noon would be neutral ba, just da bao your lunch and eat there, and if everyone reaches on time, we can do a head count and proceed to finalise the price. As for the namelist that the ICs ask for, i'll look for it asap in my external harddrive.. have been busy preparing for IPPT :p

Halo all.
Uncle Phil, 3 of us should be celebrating Chinese New Year at the Chinatown side, think there isn't studio show. My 1st time there on a eve. Gonna be an interesting sight, with a super lively atmosphere i guess. Nights.
1) If you haven't noticed, Sam and Nic are both teaching their skills. If you've ever wanted to learn either the drums or guitar, you can contact them via the following links:
SAM: http://samwangruixiang.blogspot.com/
NIC: www.myouseek.blogspot.com
2) Please keep the *th February free(date not confirmed) at **** SHARP (time not confirmed) at this location -> http://milubingmlb.blogspot.com/2006/12/weiqi-summary.html
so that we can meet up all who want to purchase the 2008 MLB tee, do a head count, and ask for a final price.
Please bring a $10 note, and a $1 coin(per tee).
Everyone should be punctual in order to give a proper quantity order.
Sizing will be done there too, I don't think there was a toilet, so gotta aga aga.
Some changes have been made to the tee because the original design after printing, was unsuitable. The design will be as such:
The price i mentioned earlier is wrong, because it was excluding gst(we had the same problem the last round), so it'll be either $10 or $11 depending on the quantity we order.
Once again, I ask for all to give your full cooperation to the ICs, in order for the event to go smoothly.
3) From what I know, we won't be attending the Carlsberg event because I have school that day.
4)25th Jan, CNY show, yesh, we will attend :)
I know that some stuff has not been updated, i will update asap and put the changes in red ;)

CNY shows!
check out paul chan's blog here
according to mr paul chan, MLB will be involved in the Carlsberg Golden Ox Year Special (pre-rec), 8pm on the first day of new year, and also the LNY eve's Special 2009, 1030pm LIVE on LNY eve. there're details there on how to request for tickets, BUT.
i've heard from nat ho's forum (he's attending the same shows) that the Carlsberg show will be recorded on 21st Jan, from 8pm at Mediacorp TV Theatre. (as usual, those who're going have to reach earlier to enter the studio)
HOWEVER, only those who are above 18 can attend (both) shows. (i think i can hear sighs somewhere... =p)
we'll try to confirm and check out more information though, so do keep tuned in to MLB or mr paul chan's blog.
cheers!

Updated (9/1/09) 2am
Hey all, looking forward to see u all this saturday ya? Meanwhile, we saw 2008 pass by without a MLB tee to commemorate the year. So we have been working on it(was fixing it @ Vivo backstage some more leh), and this time, the design arrived rather differently. For the last tee, WQ worked quite independently on it. This round, he wanted the whole team to be involved, so the final design is something that all 3 guys are happy with. Hope that all MLBians will like it, cos it was done for u all. Have contacted the MLB Ics, and they will soon be helping the whole MLB family make their orders for the tees, sizes etc. fyi, the mlb logo is made out of small words that say "i <3 MLB" PLSPLSPLS cooperate with the ICs, they are here to help everyone, so let's help make their job easier ya? MLBians must unite!!!
The design is meant to be more subtle than the previous one, so that MLBians might feel comfortable to wear it for any occasion besides gigs. The base colour is gonna be white again, so that those without this tee can still wear the older design and still blend in with the rest. This is just a graphic preview and is subject to much changes as the design might need to be tweaked due to printing constraints :)
Now now, as for the price of the tee, it is around $9-10, but can only b confirmed after confirming the quantity, and once again, please rest assured that this tee is TOTALLY non-profitable for MLB, we are doing it at cost price, MLB ics will be working closely with us during the project, so we hope this helps everyone, especially with the economy starting on a slightly flatter note.
On a side note, weiqi had some initial ideas for the tee, but since it was too personal from him and it wasn't something Nic and Sam was very comfortable with(it was too lame la the design hahaha, i think u all understand ya?), he shall do it as an individual project for the future, probably launch it in mid year or sumthin ;)
Meanwhile Nic is busy with his personal project(exciting!), Sam is busy with teaching drums (pls support ya?), and WeiQi is back to the graveyard of zombies (but this sem he wants to make a positive change!). And as a band, they are meeting every week, to compose their music, for all MLBians in this family, walking in a positive hopeful spirit towards a third album(let's all have faith) :)

Hey hey...
Jolyn! , the back's empty, due to cost la, cos if print the back = much much more $$$ involved.. yup, so for everyone's sake, i think best to only print one sided. :)
erm, i agree that a tank top would be a fresh change, but then again, i also agree that not everyone is comfortable to wear a tank top eg. sam nic and me heh heh...
sofui ah sofui... u ah..tsk tsk.. artsy rite? haha... dunno leh, i did try putting it somewhere else on the tee but then, in order to be more receptive and acceptable to all, best to put middle area ba..
MK ah...that tee hor haha.. the stories behind each element hor haha.. aiya.. u all can use your own interpretation la, just be creative :) actually got specific meaning one...but, i shall only say after the competition is over :) cannot "break hole" <- hokkien

新加坡艺人 畅谈09年愿望
1 January 2009
新的一年,新的开始。在2009年的第一天,新动网走访了新加坡艺人,让他们和大家拜年,道出新年的愿望。来……来……来,我们一起来了解众艺人的新年愿望。
最近因为8频道台庆剧《小娘惹》,颇受大家欢迎和公众热爱的新进演员,来自中国的戴阳天,希望自己能够在演技更加的成熟,同时可能入围《红星大奖》,当然也想抱走奖座,这是对这个戏剧组团队努力的肯定。
一样是来自异乡,从马来西亚来的张耀栋看到2008年世界动荡不安,当然希望2009年每一天都是安宁。身边一个个朋友都成家,自己也期望生命中的白雪公主尽快出现。
许美珍让大家手牵手,一起努力的迈向未来。在新一年的到来,忘记以往的不如意和不顺,再冲刺。
戚玉武认为,大家要更加积极地面对人生,珍惜自己所拥有的,尤其是家人,毕竟家人永远是自己最好的避风港。
而新传媒七公主的陈靓瑄,则希望新的一年是精彩,同时是充实的一年。计划中安排自己进修,学一些手艺,学琴什么的,增值自己。
另一位公主姚懿珊表示,希望在新的一年事业能更上一层楼,冲出新加坡,到海外拍戏。
同样的,公主刘芷绚期许自己可以在2009年来个角色大突破,尝试吊钢线、做水上飘的古装扮相的侠女。
综艺组阿姐钟琴,在元旦盼望自己可以抽空多运动,有一个健康体魄在新的一年可以冲刺。
杨志龙在元旦,期盼家中能添加新成员,毕竟新的一年、新的气象、家中能有小孩的声音,是值得期待,所以他会努力的。
幸福夫妻唐玉书与曾诗梅,在面对访问时仍是甜蜜非常。他们除了期许在2009年有宝宝的降临,同时祝愿大家身体健康,还有经济很快的可以复苏。
林明伦祝愿世界太平,新年一切都顺利。
第一届《绝对Superband》冠军,迷路兵期昐在新的一年世界和平,因为在2008年世界各地发生了不少恐怖袭击事件,也发生了不少天灾,所以世界和平是非常的重要。

Speaking on behalf of MLB so dun mind the crudeness of it all.
Firstly.
Thanks for coming down (some who even "Gan Chang")
You guys added on to the fun by much which was already fun.
We saw the banners.
Heard the shouts.
Felt the hearts.
Thanks to all the people following us helping us along the way, doing our makeup and air... OUR SOUND!!! very important soundmen YES!!!
MR JY! (our new techy (but old time) friend to help up setup and tear down stage fast)
ANd 2.... JASMINE & VERON!! follow us run ard like mad dawgs! Shag de leh..
(applause intended. pls clap lei.. dun "leng chang hor") pui!
Now the interesting part. a rundown of MLB's day, today.
After a long day previously (not posted, if not this post gonna take me till daylight to complete)
12pm meet at church
1230pm pickup to boonlay
1pm reach boonlay for soundcheck.
Now the more interesting part.
1pm is HARD noon. Sun the hottest and brightest. Tentage is like a greenhouse (go research that.. interesting how the design traps heat).
Soundcheck starts.
Perspiring like dogs or hotdogs if u may.
Setup all sui sui. or we think. no prob for first 30 min while waiting for drums to finish mic testing by sound ppl.
They ssay test our lines. At last. Hotdogs become boiled dogs. sweat (water) plus heat.
Keyboard dead. Eg. The "browser" on the keyboard menu appeared differently ....as "Bro"
We know we're bro la but no need like that pls. No need emphasize details at wrong important, crucial events like a freakin sondcheck!
Keyboard now cant connect to mac. no sound. (Mac keep prompting us... "HUI device not found")
HUI aint really know what it means... maybe "Highly Useful Instrument"
Highly Useles instrument? Nah.. It's "Da bomb" Rated online as one of the best... got great awards. Should be ok de.
We "Gioh tolang" to the keyboard.
No kneeling incense involved though.
It still called us "bro"
Brother dun like that now lei...
230pm gave up on the keyboard's "speech impediment. "Bro."
Check guitars then.
Guitar behaved like a snake... lotsa weird noises.
some of which include hissing and "chak chak chak chak chak" at a constant tempo. "ssssssss" like snake... rattle snake to be exact. Youtube a rattle snake. That was our soundcheck for it. Yay.
I know we got constant drummer but aint need competition pls. friendly de. wth.
soundman say may be 2 issues.
1)power source dirty. Highly possible. Generators not constant.
he say happen lotsa times to him before.. but gotta replace generators one day before hand.
We cant countdown 1st to the 2nd of Jan. Don't think organisers would like that yes?
2)might be the heat (which we 20 min before this aga aga think it might be heatstroke for the keyboard)
Bo pian. Keyboard UK brand... temperate climate... like asking eskimo come India to suntan.
WQ brought keyboards down. We packed up. He tested it under the shade and ran whole setup on battery power.
Wala! It called us "browser" at last.
Love the name.
Details cut short, we didnt have a soundcheck. The other performers had to soundcheck too... they were on a tight schedule.
We can't say OI!!!! MLB here... we want to ******** soundcheck!
